Let the Good Work Go On.

The new Mayor has been cleaning
up the streets quite generally. And
this is a good time Of the year for
this work to be done. There still
remain some parts of streets which
need attention. The town wants its
streets clean and in good repair.
Let the work 60 forward until it is
completed. And in addition to
cleaning the streets there are num-
Der of old rat harbors and tumble
down stables standing about on good
lots that are of no use, except as q
menace to other property, that
ought to be condemned and removed.
1t is time that the town authorities
were turning their attention to this
latter matter for the protection OF
the town.

The four following paragraphs are
from the Kingwood Journal;
T. NJ Wilson, of Monongalia coun-
ty, was here on Sunday.
Fernie Fogle, youngest daughter
of DIR. Fogle, of Terra Alta, is visit
ing her sister, Mrs. T. c. Elliott, of
Keyser.
Lieut.. r. NJ. G. Brown is visiting
in Kingwood. The Lieutenant is
looking WELL He informed us that
work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible on the extension of the
Davis railroad in Tucker county.
Miss Lulu Downtain, who had
been visiting in Kingwood for a
month, left this morning. After
spending day or two with rela-

Miss Name Morrison, daughter of
DR.. II. Morrison, of Pittsburgh, and
sister of Mrs. L. V. Keck, of the
West Side, and at present a guest of
her sister, is, we learn. quite an ar
fist, having been the scholar of Miss
Anderson's school Of design of Pitts
burgh for several years, and merit
oriously received the highest honors
at exhibitions given in the above
city. Some of her works from ma
ture are simply beautiful, displaying
the most artistic conception and
skilled design, among which she
classes her "Game" piece, as of her
classical efforts. Her study and re-
suits from copy have been highly
eomplimented by artists of note,
among the paintings we are told the
"Angel," "Vestal Virgin" "Phar-
aoh's Horses" { in crayon) and many
others of which we have heard com
ment, but cannot recall titles. Miss
Morrison began her studies in 1880,
and has been teaching for several
years private scholars at her home.
Her October class comprises % OF
the best talent of the Iron City. We
learn she anticipates going abroad
at NO distant day to finish her edu-
cation under the ablest instructors
We feel confident that Pittsburgh
may well feel just pride in the
school of design taught by Miss An
derson, and in such rare talent as
Miss Morrison possesses.

Centennial Celebration Mt Mt Morris.


The youth, beauty and the chiv-
airy, with the patriotic sires, and
venerated mothers, assembled in
James L. Donley's grove, one mile
east of Mt. Morris on September
18th, to celebrate an important his
toric event, that of the adoption of
the federal constitution of the Unit
ed States. By 10 o'clock the crowd
had assumed very large and re-
spectacle appearance. BY the aid
of the following gentleman, viz: Hon.
Patrick Donley, M. K. Fox, John
Kennedy, John Millikin, Rev. M. L..
Smith, L. d. Russell and others, a
hastily prepared program of exer-
cises was arranged, after which Rev.
M. L. Smith called the meeting to
order, electing the following officers:
President, Hon John Blair; Vice
Presidents, John Milikin, David
Donley, George Bussey, Samuel
Evans, Peter Chalfan, Greenbury
Wade, Jas. l.. Donley and VIM.
Phillips; Secretaries, L. d. Russell
and N. S. Smith.
President Blair took the chair and
introduced Hon. A. G.. Davis, Of
Morgantown, w. Va. Mr.. Davis
held the audience spell bound foI
over an hour. Magnetism, eloquence
and profundity We'd with each Other
in the enunciation Of every sentence
Throughout the entire address pa
triotism was at a premium for over
an hour. Everybody was well
pleased.

Doesn't Think Their Name viii be
"Vindieated."

The corners jury that was en-
paneled to inquire into the murder
of John Cartright adjourned without
ascertaining anything not already
known to the public. There was
little hidden about this murder
done as It was in open daylight and
the murderer walking quietly away
under the eyes of many persons
Who he was and where he is are the
only questions needing an answer,
and this the jury failed to find out.
If he should be found it may be that
few Of the many who saw him
would be able to agree as to the
identity Of the murderer, and thus
the ends of justice would after all
be defeated. The county court with
commendable zeal has offered fair
reward for the conviction of the
murderer, but being an open and
public reward, it is not likely to be
productive of much good, and it is
not probable that any one will be
induced thereby to endeavor to ap-
prehend the culprit. This stain is
hard for our county to bear. Every
acre of land in that locality, which
is in the market. is deprecated in
value. But the most discouraging
part of the whole affair is the proba
bility that the good name of our
county will never be indicated, and
that the murderer will go unwhipt
of justice.

sitting on pile of plank and lean

In Brief. and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disorder
ed liver is misery. Indigestion is a
foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t is
easily put out of order
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food. bad habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people a nation
of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that
they can enjoy their meals and be
happy.
Remember:-No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug
gist for bottle. Seventy-five cents.

BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

Olh cII(lAi4 tOEfAEof Dh-4>As
The students base ball season
opened last Saturday with an inter
esting and enthusiastic contest be-
tween the SEMINARY Girls" and the
1Belles of the Campus" The
weather was 'just too lovely for any
use' and the playing was lust
splendid" Had it not been for
those "horrid" boys that laughed at
every mistake, it would have been a
day of unalloyed pleasure. The
Girls" appeared jauntily attired in
pink caps and aprons. while the
Bellies" wore plain white aprons
together with Observation-Disclosures
fastened in front with a diamond
brooch. All took an active part in
the game, and the glow brought to
the cheeks showed the good effects
of the exercise May the sweet
creatures soon give us another exhi-
bition of their grace and skill.
Prof Loisette's system of memory
culture is eliciting considerable in
terest in the school and town. A
number-have concluded to give it a
trial. If the system will accomplish
the half that is claimed for it, no
one need hesitate to devote the
money and time required for its
mastery. He will be amply repaid
in memory that is quick TO grasp
and powerful to hold.
The subject of the continuance of
the Echo is being agitated among
the boys. There is no doubt but
that material can be found among
the students competent to conduct
such a organ, and in a manner to re
deet credit on the school. But the
best talent is mostly employed in
other channels; and rather than the
paper DE run by the puerile aspirant
or by men who can only devote a
very small fraction of their time to
the work, thus doing neither them
selves nor the paper justice, let her
dust repose in peace.

West Virginia Railroad Coal Field.

One OF the chief difficulties in in
teresting capital in our railroad and
coal fields is the ignorance and
prejudice that seem to be wide
spread, and to which we all contrib
ute in no small degree. No geolog
ical surveys or analyses have ever
been made by the State, and what
has been done by private effort is
meager from want of means and
lacking in that authoritative char
acter which an official State survey
would have.
To illustrate: Clearfeld county,
Pa, having precisely the same geo.
logical coal field as the Preston
basin, to be tapped by the West Va.
R. r., ships over 100000 tons of
coal year, and the Pennsylvania
State geological survey reports six
teen distinct analyses of the coal,
with an average of 6S to 10 per cent
of fixed GORDON, 5 per cent ash, from
one-half to three fourth per cent
sulphur, and 20 to 25 per cent of
volatile matter. A half dozen an
alyses made by unofficial butexpert
scientists of the Preston coal show
less ash, no more sulphur, and near
ly as much fixed carbon. The
Clearfeld viens or seams of coal are
less in thickness, more broken and
nearer the surface The rate of
freight from Clearfield to Philadel-
phia and that offered by the B. d O.
R. r. to the West Va. R. R. to same
point are the same per ton. 1t is
stated upon the best authority that
nearly every regular line of steam
ships entering New York now burns
CIearfield coal. The enormous ship
ment of over four million tons has
mainly grown into being in the last
ten years. For coking both these
Goals rival the Connellsville article
The gentlemen who have bought
coal lands and are putting up ovens
near Nuzum's Mills, on the B. q O..
are opening the same coal as the
Preston basin. They come from
Clearfeld county and are expert
enced operators. They will expend
this season over $4,000 in land
coke ovens, &C., on the B. g. O. and
the F. M. Il p. railroads. This they
would not do if not fully convinced
of the quality and quantity of thu
coal they propose to work.
Official analyses of the Goals o
the State would convince skepticl
and the ignorant SO far as to Undue,
them at least to further investigat,
before passing by these rich, ande
yeloped coal fields. With coal 0
equal quality, equal freight rates
larger seams and lower prices 70
THE lands, we should at least reap
part Of the enormous business don
in shipping coal and coke.
